I will make the bold claim right now that you should double the batch and freeze some of them in a freezer bag for later. In fact, if you trust me, I included Freezer Meal instructions in the recipe (because you know how much I love freezer meal cooking).

Lastly, make it a game for your little ones to fill the waffles with fruit. I’d like to say this was my two year old’s idea…but it was actually my husband’s waffle.

Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined (do not over mix). (Optional: Stir in chocolate chips.)

Cook according to waffle iron instructions. Mine takes about 3½ minutes for each batch.

Notes

Freezer Meal Instructions:

To Freeze:Place cooked and cooled waffles into a freezer bag with sheets of waxed paper separating the layers. To Prepare:When ready to eat, stick frozen waffles in the toaster on the defrost setting, and you've got a fast, healthy breakfast.

I noticed just a slight mistake in the recipe! Where it says “first seven ingredients, through cocoa powder” I believe you meant six. Not a big but I thought I’d let you know! Can’t wait to try these out 🙂

Just wanted to pass on that these are very good. You don’t taste pumpkin at all, and they are very filling. Plus a very light, nice texture to them. My 3 boys love them, and i like to make them for guests too. Love that they have the pumpkin instead of just being an empty-carb breakfast. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes with all of us!

Thanks for this wonderful recipe! The kids love them! I added mint chocolate M&M’s to one batch, and chocolate chips to another. I nanny all day away from home and need a quick breakfast to bring along. I made these and froze them. I will definitely be making these again!!

Any idea what the calories for this is? I have an anorexic daughter and have to write the calories for everything she eats down in a food journal. She’s a bit fan of chocolate and pumpkin so this should be right up her alley.
